Aside from our initial investment, we want to see you succeed. Our company was built into an international company that has helped many companies scale into new markets. So with that experience, we can serve in an advisory capacity depending on your needs. Apply Now! Let's Do This Together!

From application to funding, our investment process takes 8 weeks on average (possibly faster depending on how fast the applicants responds). Steps in the process include two pitch presentations with the first round done virtually. Those selected for the final round will have the opportunity to pitch in person or virtually .
It will be followed by approximately 3 weeks of due diligence. Due diligence includes close examination of the company, team, products or services, and customers. During the due diligence process, we may review and/or negotiate an existing term sheet. The final step is a legal and accounting diligence necessary to document the investment.
Applying does NOT guarantee funding. We Review applications on a rolling basis in batches. We reserve the right to pass on an application for any reason and at our sole discretion. Due to the volume of applications received, we will only be able to contact those who have been selected to continue in the process. Thank you again for your application submission.
